What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The Pull and Play Switch is a mechanical activation switch that triggers an external device when a user pulls or grasps a large 4-inch ball grip. It's designed for people who are working on emerging reaching, swiping, and grasping movements — particularly children or adults with limited hand control who benefit from practicing these motor skills while also activating switch-accessible devices or adapted toys. The package includes the ball grip, a mounting arm, and a C-clamp for attaching to a wheelchair tray, tabletop, or bedrail, but it does not include any toy or device to control — you'll need a separate battery-operated toy or device with a switch jack (or an adapter). The switch output is a standard 3.5mm mono connection, so it requires a compatible switch-adapted device to do anything.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Clamp the mounting arm to a wheelchair tray, bedrail, or tabletop using the included C-clamp.
- Attach the ball grip to the mount and plug the 3.5mm switch cord into a compatible switch-adapted device or toy.
- Position the ball within the user's reach and test activation.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or ATP should assess optimal switch placement based on the user's reach, range of motion, and motor control goals.
- An OT can integrate switch use into a structured skill-building program targeting reaching and grasping. Expect 1–2 sessions to dial in positioning and activation force. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
